The Eliminator at the high setting comes in third, 5 degrees hotter than the Freezone and 8 degrees hotter than the Exos-2. The Eliminator at the Medium setting is only 3 degrees hotter than the high setting, which shows that it's a good balance between performance and noise. However, the Exos-2 is only one degree hotter at its low setting, and it is a great deal quieter than the Eliminator....

First, it’s clear that new generation devices run hotter than old ones (46° C versus between 34° C and 42° C). First, it’s clear that new generation devices run hotter than old ones (46° C versus between 34° C and 42° C). We think these numbers help to prove our contention that bigger tuner capsules running at lower temperatures output more heat overall than small capsules at hotter temps....

The 6x86 CPU gets much hotter than a Pentium, which means that you have to take special precautions for good cooling of the CPU. Some chips would work correctly on a special clock rate only with a higher voltage, which means also getting hotter....

That's particularly important as fast processors and graphics cards are getting hotter and hotter; so at least your hard drive won't contribute too much to system heat. ...
